[Latest response to the lululemon trademark case: Both parties filed a second-instance appeal] On September 4, JU ACTIVE founder Huang Haorui said: "We have already filed a second-instance appeal, and today we received information that lululemon has also filed an appeal." In this regard, lululemon has not responded as of press time. In August this year, the Nanjing Intermediate People's Court of Jiangsu Province made a first-instance judgment on the trademark infringement dispute case brought by Canada's Lululemon Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. (lululemon) against Zhejiang Jiyou Brand Management Co., Ltd. and five other entities, rejecting all of lululemon's trademark infringement claims. The five defendants involved in the case jointly operate the JU ACTIVE sportswear brand, which was founded at the end of 2024. However, it is worth noting that in this lawsuit, lululemon made two core claims, one is trademark infringement, and the other is unfair competition. lululemon claims to have competitive rights in its 20 clothing styles and believes that JU ACTIVE's imitation of the above styles violates the provisions of Article 2 of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law and constitutes unfair competition. In the first instance, the court indeed determined that the 18 clothing styles involved in the case constituted unfair competition by JU ACTIVE, and ordered JU ACTIVE to compensate lululemon 2.6 million yuan.
